Book description
Here is an exciting way to rediscover the joy and adventure of reading the works of James Fenimore Cooper – one of the first great American authors. This illustrated volume contains selections from twenty-five of Cooper’s novels including: The Pathfinder, The Deerslayer, The Last of the Mohicans, and The Spy along with commentary by his daughter, Susan Cooper. The 40 reproductions of steel engravings take the modern reader back to the time when America was young.
You will:
– Travel the forests with Hawkeye and Chingachgook
– Fight at the Battle of Bunker Hill
– Sail on the Bon Homme Richard
This book also presents the readers with samples of Cooper’s hard-to-find, lesser known works such as: The Pilot, The Sea Lions, The Red Rover, and The Prairie which were first published over 140 years ago.
